Let G be a complete normed abelian group with norm N1. Let S be an interval (bounded or otherwise) of real numbers. We propose to study the Stieltjes integral equation

where p is in G, a is in S, and each Fk is a function on S each value of which is a function from G to G. Our primary tools of investigation will be the works of J. S. MacNerney [6; 7] and their extensions by the author [4; 5]. Our main result, Theorem 4, will show that the equation above can be solved by a product integral of infinite products of solutions for the summands of the integrator. After obtaining our results, we shall specialize them to a linear situation and then show how this specialization allows us to obtain representations for analytic functions having only invertible values in a complex Banach algebra with identity.
